Just because I was training and working hard, that didn't make me champion or a good fighter. My lifestyle made me a good fighter.

So, when the time presented itself, that's who I already was. I was ready. I was already there.

Steve HamiltonYou see, when you're middle class, you have to live with the fact that history will ignore you.

And because of this price, all happinesses are sterile; all sadnesses go unpitied.
